Kodachome

A Kodak anunciou que irá descontinuar o Kodacrome (leia aqui). Isso representa definitivamente o fim de uma era para qualquer um que goste de fotografia.

Embora por recomendações eu visse usando os filmes da Fuji, foi com o Kodachrome que comecei a fotografar. Minha combinação de Kodachrome e Olympus Pen, foi, talvez, a melhor companheira de viagens que já tive. Levemente retrô, na bolsa de minha mochila.

Agora, me restará ouvir Paul Simon.

“When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It’s a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of edu—cation
Hasn’t hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they’d never match
my sweet imagination
everything looks WORSE in black and white

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome
Leave your boy so far from home
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama don’t take my Kodachrome

Mama don’t take my Kodachrome away“
